Madagascar – Dark Chocolate

Amano Chocolate’s Madagascar chocolate is a customer favorite for a reason. The cocoa used to make this chocolate comes from a plantation in the Sambirano Valley on the northwest coast of Madagascar.

This laborious process pays off, resulting in a symphony of flavors that explode in your mouth.

Guayas – Dark chocolate

The Guayas chocolate from Amano Chocolate is another award winning chocolate that’s rich and intoxicating.

The beans have a rich flavor that is intoxicating and beautiful. Amano Chocolate uses these wonderful beans to make a chocolate that has an incredible flavor, leaving you asking for more. The Guayas chocolate has a score of 86.7/100 and won the Bronze award in the Plain/Origin dark chocolate bars category at the International Chocolate Awards World Finals.

Macoris – Dark chocolate

Amano Chocolate’s Macoris chocolate has a unique backstory. Amano Chocolate’s founder, Art Pollard, found a beautiful cocoa plantation that forever caught his imagination. The cocoa plantation was overcast, and the cocoa trees were new and laden with a rainbow of cocoa pods. The light coming through the leaves gave the founder the feeling that if there really was a Garden of Eden, it would be just like this. After seven years of negotiations, Amano Chocolate was finally able to create chocolate with beans from this magical place. The Macoris chocolate has a score of 86.6/100 and won the Bronze award in the Plain/Origin dark chocolate bars category at the International Chocolate Awards World Finals.

Citrus Mélange À Trois – Milk Chocolate

Amano Chocolate’s Citrus Mélange À Trois is a chocolate that perfectly balances the flavor of cocoa with citrus. The chocolate is made with cocoa that Amano Chocolate obtains from farmers in Ecuador. Amano Chocolate then combines it with the oils from yuzu, an incredible citrus from Japan, tangerine, and grapefruit. The chocolate also contains tiny pieces of orange fruit leather, giving it an incredible juicy sensation. The Citrus Mélange À Trois chocolate has a score of 86.9/100 and won the Bronze award in the Dark chocolate bars with inclusions or pieces category at the International Chocolate Awards World Finals.

Raspberry Rose – Milk Chocolate

The Raspberry Rose chocolate from Amano Chocolate is a rich dark chocolate made with cocoa beans from the Guayas River Basin in Ecuador. It has bright raspberry notes, followed by beautiful fruity and floral hints of rose petals. The chocolate also contains crunchy bits, making it extra electrifying. The Raspberry Rose chocolate has a score of 85.8/100 and won the Bronze award in the Dark chocolate bars with inclusions or pieces category at the International Chocolate Awards World Finals.
